kinda annoyed Chris hasn't used my donated server as a node. it's got dual xeons man! This bring said, I have some older GPUs I might be able to ship in over. A topic that might be worth mentioning is this small market where folks buy up lost wallets from their original owners who forgot the passkey and work on cracking the passphrase. p.s. I started listening due to shoutouts from Chris from LUP.
